Recap: This Pslam speaks of our continued hope in God. It is a prayer of delieverance in the time of trouble. This Psalm is a continuation of Psalm 42.
|
43: |
1 |
Vindicate me, O God, |
| |
|
And plead my cause against an ungodly nation; |
| |
|
Oh, deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man! |
- The psalmist ask the Lord to defend him like an advocate
against all those who are opposing due to his faith. The words
vindicate and plead are legal languages. God is a right judge who sees
the wickedness as is.
|
43: |
2 |
For You are the God of my strength; |
| |
|
Why do You cast me off? |
| |
|
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? |
- Life is tough and problems come unexpectedly. We doubt whether
we have offended God or violated his law resulting in judgment of God?
- While the psalmist acknowledges the strength of his God (or
God as his refuge), his personal experience is opposite (though
temporary).
Prayer: Father, I worship you for you are God who strengthens even
throuh you allow the enemy to opress me. Lord, I pray that, you would
help to have continual hope in you, despite the situations of life.
